Lightly recruited out of High School, Aaron Rodgers received zero scholarship offers. Nevertheless, in one season and Butte Community College and another two at California, the strong-armed signal-caller appeared to be destined to be the first player selected in the 2005 NFL Draft.
Rodgers the proceeded to fall to the Green Bay Packers at 24 overall & immediately became the backup and eventual successor to the legendary Brett Favre.
Rodgers assumed the starting role in 2008 and then enjoyed one of the finest careers for a quarterback in NFL history.
From 2008-2022, Rodgers started 223 games for Green Bay. Over this span, he threw for 5,8726 yards, 474 touchdowns, won four MVPs, a Super Bowl title (MVP of Super Bowl XLV) and made 10 Pro Bowls.
Rodgers was then traded to the New York Jets where he lost his first season to an Achilles injury and is struggling through his second.
Never someone to not make his opinion on certain issues known, Rodgers has been in the media for off-field statements and controversies.
Despite the late career swoon, Rodgers is a future Hall of Famer and could be in the argument of one of the greatest players in NFL history.
